How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Salthouse. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Salthouse, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
FAQs for Salthouse
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Salthouse
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
